Abstract
|
|
|
A male full-term infant who had been breast-fed since birth developed an erythematous eroded eruption involving the anogenital area at 1 month of age, and this lesion did not respond to treatment with topical corticosteroids and antimicrobials. He was first seen at our office at 9 months of age. At that time, he had continuous diarrhea, but he had no alopecia, nail dystrophy or acral skin lesions. His serum zinc level was normal and his mother¡¯s breast milk zinc level was also normal, but it was not enough for his zinc metabolism. His clinical symptoms and skin lesions were dramatically improved with administering zinc.
